What am I doing wrong?

[Vicker3000]

I can't seem to get my server up and running. I tried taking my router out of the loop and disabling my firewall, but I still get the same error message saying, "Your Altitude servers are behind an improperly configured router and/or firewall. This means other players will not be able to join your servers." Here's what the server window has to say about things:

Hi, im no tech wizard but a lot of these problems seem to be related to port forwarding, for information on port forwarding visit:

I still have the same problem even when I remove my router entirely. It's not a router problem.

Maybe your ISP is blocking that particular port or something? Try changing the port just to see what happens.

I tried several different ports just now and I still get the same thing. Are there two ports that would 100% certainly be not blocked by my ISP?

It says

[port 8768] [10 Sep 2010 18:12:59,140] INFO: valid server hello response; remote IP is 71.237.220.214:8768

at the end. Doesn't that mean the server is able to talk to me through those ports? Why can my friends still not join then? =/

[Twisol]

Eh... as a last-ditch guess, maybe your ISP is blocking all external connections. Try calling to ask; if they are, maybe there's a port exception they can set up for you.

edit: I haven't used the dedicated server at all, so I could be wildly off the mark. Still, if it says it can't see you, I don't think there's any reason to disbelieve it. Maybe that hello-response line was a result of a connection your computer initiated, which would still work assuming my guess is right. Perhaps it was talking to some master server.

Any info on your exact hardware setup? What was left with the router removed?

I know you've removed the router, but as a wild guess, you could try disabling UPnP on it.
